PETER K. DEDERIGK, OF LOUDONVILLE, NEW YORK.

BALlNG-PRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 338,936, dated March 30, 1886,

Application filed January 23, 1886. Serial No. 189,505. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, PETER K. DEDERIOK, of Loudonville, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Baling-Presses; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the figures and letters of reference marked thereon.

In Letters Patent No. 334,004, granted to me January 12, 1886, I have shown and described several forms of power devices for balingpresses of that class known as reversible presses, in which there is embodied, as a distinctive feature, a capability of producing two strokes of the traverser or plunger to a single movement of the horse lever or sweep in either direction.

My present invent-ion consists of a new application or embodiment of the principle of said previous power devices.

I will first describe it at length, and then point out its particular features of novelty in the claim at the end of this specification.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the press having my improvements applied thereto. Figs. 2 and 3 represent sectional views showing, respectively, the positions of the parts just before the completion of the first and second strokes.

Similar letters of reference in the several figures denote the same parts.

A represents the press-box and B the baleehamber,of apress of the class known as perpetual or reversible presses.

O is the traverser and D the pitman jointed at its inner end thereto.

E E represent two plates or disks mounted centrally upon a shaft, F. Between these disks is pivoted by a bolt, E, the outer end of the pitman.

G is the horse lever or sweep, bifurcated at its head, as shown in Fig. 1, the upper and lower arms, 9, being hinged to the frame by separate pivots located at one side of the shaft F.

Projecting from the upper and lower disks, E, are a series of pins or stops, 1 2 3, arranged at corresponding positions upon the two disks, and upon the upper and lower arms of the sweep'head are formed projections or lugs H, which are adapted to engage with the stops on the disks in the following manner: \Vhen the traverser is withdrawn, so as to permit of the feeding of a charge of material into the press-box in front of it, the horselever is at the limit of its movement in one direction, and the lugs H on the horse-lever bear against the stops 1 of the disks. After the charge has been inserted in the press-box, the horse-lever is swung around to the other side of the machine, and, as it proceeds, the said lugs H, acting upon the stops 1, cause the disks to be rotated until the pitman is brought nearly to a central line, when, owing to the fact that the said lugs and stops are rotating on different centers, the lugs will become disengaged from the stops, and the disks, being thus released, be rotated back in the direction from whence they started by the expansion of the pressed material, thereby bringing the stops 2 in engagement in turn with said lugs, and then, upon a continuation of the movement of the lever, the disks will be again rotated forward until the pitman passes the central line, whereupon the pressed material, again reacting, will cause the further continued rotation of said disks until the stops 1 again engage with the lugs in the position to initiate another corresponding operation, when the horse-leveris swung back to the position from whence it started, as will be readily understood.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new- The combination, with the traverser and pitman, of the disks or plates mounted upon the shaft and provided with stops, as described, and the bifurcated horse lever or sweep pivoted upon separate centers and provided with the lugs for engaging the said stops, substan* tially as described.
